Hi Birders and Banders,



We have just posted spring dates for Bird Monitoring and Banding and Bird
Identification Workshops.



Dates and full details of course schedules and content can be found online
at: http://www.birdvancouver.com/workshops.html



Our Bird Monitoring and Banding Workshop - developed for people with little
or no bird banding or bird in the hand experience provides a fantastic
opportunity to see birds up close and personal, to learn about their
plumage, molt sequences and life habits.



Our Bird Identification Workshop - developed for birders who wish to
participate in the BC Breeding Bird Atlas or similar programs or who just
want to take their bird knowledge and identification skills to the next
level.



This course covers groups, topography, field marks, song, habitat, molt,
ageing and more and includes a guided field session to a local birding area.
Although developed for beginner and intermediate birders the ornithological
aspects of the course benefit even the most experienced birders and the
workshop is invaluable for birders traveling overseas.



Most of all, these workshops are designed to be a fun and interesting
experience and a way to take your interest in birds and the environment to
the next level. See what people who have attended our workshops have to say:
